The work they are doing will improve all of our lives as they unleash the power of chemistry to solve global challenges like providing clean water, sufficient food, new energy sources, and cures for disease. But that's not all they're also organizing scientific conferences for their peers, doing outreach with scouts and schools, and being mentors to the next generation of scientists.

Laurie will be honored at the society's fall national meeting in Denver, CO.
